Short walk to university and hospital, ready for refurbishment and rental.
Five bedrooms and two bathrooms suitable for shared tenancies
A five-bedroom detached house in NR4, offered freehold and marketed for buy-to-let investors. The property sits close to the University of East Anglia and the Norfolk & Norwich University Hospital, providing strong tenant demand from students, hospital staff and professionals. It includes a driveway for off-street parking and a private enclosed rear garden on a decent plot.
The house dates from the mid-20th century and shows signs it would benefit from refurbishment and modernisation; photos describe an unkempt exterior and interiors typical of the 1950s–60s era. Heating is mains gas via boiler and radiators and windows are double glazed (installation date unknown). Broadband speeds are fast, supporting multiple tenants; mobile signal is average. There is no flood risk.
Important considerations: the wider area records above-average crime and the local secondary school listed here has an Ofsted rating that requires improvement — factors investors should weigh against rental yield. The property’s size is described as small overall despite 1,249 sq ft and seven rooms, so room layouts may be compact compared with newer builds.
For investors prepared to carry out targeted works, the house offers flexible lettings potential (five bedrooms, two bathrooms) and reliable demand given nearby institutions and local amenities. Obvious value lies in rental conversion, tenant-ready upgrades, and long-term capital growth in a desirable NR4 location.
